Does your boss sleep in the jungle, surrounded by jaguars? Sometimes, you catch lightning in a bottle, and all the right pieces align to create something magic. So it is with Cotopaxi, the once scrappy (literally) outdoor gear brand that has won over adventurers young and old with its splashy, colorful designs, clever product innovations, and, well, llamas. While he’s quick to tell you it takes a village, founder and CEO Davis Smith is the man primarily behind the Cotopaxi phenomenon. But the irreverence and jubilee embodied by the brand — its “Questival” adventure scavenger hunts draw tens of thousands of loyal followers all across the country — belie Smith’s very serious adventure pursuits. From sleeping on a small patch of reef being swallowed by high tide to camping in the Amazon with the sound of hungry jaguars rolling through the jungle, Smith lives for the chance to survive — odd as that may sound. Smith dove into these stories — and other harrowing tales — and revealed the surprising history behind Cotopaxi (hint: pool tables and eBay). The post Davis Smith: The Most Interesting CEO in the World appeared first on GearJunkie.

Davis Smith is the founder of Cotopaxi and to grow his team, he's built an environment where people can create. One of the most physical manifestations of those creations is the Del Dia Collection of bags. They're repurposed from remnants of fabric and each bag is a one-of-a-kind colorway, designed by the craftspeople sewing them.As they've grown for the past six years, the Cotopaxi mission to Do Good has extended to new geographies with systemic supply chain shifts to start eradicating poverty in communities around the world. In this episode, Davis shares how he's always faced tough decisions by focusing on people first.Go to the Lumi blog for links and images.

Lt. Governor, Spencer Cox, is joined by a few of the friends and Davis Smith, the CEO and founder of Cotopaxi, to talk about his decision to build the outdoor gear company in Utah, what Cotopaxi stands for, and how a young shoe-shining boy from Peru led Davis to found the company. We also talk about how Davis got the inspiration to start the Cotopaxi Questival, the 24-hour adventure race, some of the craziest survival trips he's ever experienced, and the time he got Salmonella from a bad coconut. Lastly, we dive into how Davis kayaked to Cuba, which included 3 a.m. workouts and the sinking of his kayak.

Questival is a 24 hour event that’s run in multiple cities every year if you get the chance we highly recommend you try it out.

In episode 90, Kestrel welcomes Davis Smith, the CEO and founder of Cotopaxi to the show. A brand that creates innovative outdoor products and experiences, Cotopaxi works to fund sustainable poverty relief, move people to do good, and inspire adventure. "Originally I think ... it was the grantmaking ... where we were going to have our impact, but as we've started to put together these impact reports, I'm seeing that a lot of the impact that we're having is actually through our purchasing power, it's through our supply chain. " -Davis Smith, founder + CEO of Cotopaxi Throughout this episode, Kestrel and Davis discuss Cotopaxi's business model, and Davis shares more on his intention with the company to use business to alleviate poverty - through what they like to call "holistic development".  Davis also shares more on how Cotopaxi has built partnerships with llama farmers in Bolivia, and how they use llama wool as insulation in some of their jackets (instead of down or some kind of synthetic insulation). The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: The Wharton School, where Davis received his MBA 3 pillars Cotopaxi addresses in their work toward poverty alleviation: Healthcare, Education + Livelihood Training Proximity Designs, Myanmar-based nonprofit Cotopaxi works with Educate Girls, India-based nonprofit Cotopaxi works with Questival, outdoor adventure race held all over the U.S. + hosted by Cotopaxi

Listen to the sketch on YouTube here!: https://youtu.be/RGJQnvKXOVM This is one of my favorite all-time sketches that Alisha and I did, I think it is fantastic and really just well executed. Sometimes some of my favorite humor is when a character gets into a really uncomfortable or awkward situation and sees his or her way through it, this is not one of those cases. Also, the punchline on this sketch was perfect. So we have finished migrating the podcast over to the new service, iTunes has been updated and now you can actually see our delightful artwork in Apple Podcasts and hopefully everywhere! That has been a thing I have wanted so badly for so long! Also, I want to really quickly read a review from someone and urge you to jump onto whatever service you are using and give us a quick 5-star review. If you do, I will absolutely read one at the beginning of every episode! I would really appreciate this, I would like to get at least 100 reviews by the end of summer, so I need one a day… you could be the one! Also, do you happen to have an amazon echo? If you do that’s great! You can actually just ask Alexa to play “Sketch Comedy Podcast Show and she will totally do it! And now onto Alisha and my discussion about spider gender and feces… totally classy! We also record a sketch about our deepest, darkest fears…. Muahahahahaha-ahem… enjoy this week’s show. And don’t forget to stick around after the show to hear us improvise the actual sketch! Zootopia is a remake of a classic sci-fi movie. Stuart gets attacked by a spider and then Alisha and Stuart try to figure out the spider’s gender. This episode was out of the space-time continuum, and should have been released before last week’s episode but go check that one out too because Dr. Kiki! Alisha did something called Questival which is a 24-hour scavenging hunt; Alisha learns how to become a true a**hole about it. Alisha officiated a wedding and did not sleep for 39 hours so she could legally kill someone; Stuart ruined said wedding and would have been a good victim. Summertime is terrible because kids require things. The sketch is fantastic. Pooping is never an option while sexy time, but sometimes it might be better than trying to race home. A smorgasbord of feces ensued. Forks should never be the tool one uses for plumbing. Alisha and Stuart decide the best upgrade for any toilet is a blender. The sketch this week taps into our deepest, darkest fears… you know, like an unreplied-to text.
